Project description:CD44+/CD24- subpopulation of normal and cancerous breast epithelial cells are suggested to have stem cell properties. The goal of this study was to identify gene expression differences between CD44+/CD24- and CD44-/CD24+ subpopulation of cells from a same cell lines. We selected MCF-10A cells, which are immortalized derived from a fibrocystic breast disease. These cells are immortalized but not transformed and express basal cell markers. Cells were from a single sort but plated into four 100 mm plates. RNA was prepared from each plate separately for the analysis. Comparison of gene expression between 2 groups ( CD44+/CD24- and CD44-/CD24+) 4 replicates each.

Project description:To understand the role of p53 in regulating stem cell population (CD24-CD44+) and stemness-associated miRNAs, we first compared miRNA expression profiles between human mammary epithelial cells knocked-down p53 and control cells. We then cross-referenced p53-regulated miRNAs with stemness-associated miRNAs analyzed from expression profiling of sorted CD24-CD44+ and non-CD24-CD44+ cell populations. Further biological experiments were performed with the miRNAs that are altered in CD24-CD44+ stem cell populations and also regulated by p53.

Further biological experiments were performed with the miRNAs that are altered in CD24-CD44+ stem cell populations and also regulated by p53. Total RNAs, including miRNAs, were extracted from cells infected with retrovirus expressing shp53 (labeled in Hy3) and vector control (labeled in Hy5). miRNAs were hybridized on Exiqon miRCURY LNA arrays according to the manufacturer's protocol.

Project description:Cancer stem cells (CSC) are postulated to be capable of initiating tumor formation, growth, and are resistant to therapies thereby causing tumor recurrence. We flow sorted breast cancer stem cells using CD24 (a negative marker) and CD44 (a positive marker) and performed RNAseq to determine what genes and pathways are altered in the CD24 low/ CD44 high subpopulation relative to CD24high/CD44+ subpopulation.
Project description:For gene expression profiling, we used immortalized human mammary epithelial cells (HMLE) to isolate a pure epithelial fraction of cells by positive selection for CD24 expression using Magnetic Activated Cell Sorting (=24hi). We independently isolated 3 mesenchymal subpopulations (msp1-3) from HMLE cells by collecting floating cells from cultured monolayer HMLE cells.
